Still havent done any pockets yet.

Word of advice, stick a piece of white paper behind the LCD and if it still appears to be that infamous shade of green (or greenish tint), you haven't peeled both layers off.

wow I did not know that, which explains why my inverted screen is normal. which is alright with me

E-mailed kitsch a few times to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. After I figured that out they've been much easier since. Even started backlighting pockets as well, although I haven't tried the soldering technique yet with those screens.

some say that you don't need to cut any of the plastic frame.  not cutting the part that the wires overlap puts pressure on the wires/PCB when the case is put back together, and this isn't good of course.

so, *if* you're using a backlight which claims you don't need to snip the plastic, don't believe it.  you should. 

OR, the backlight is a thicker model than most now??? 

so, where did you get, what did you follow?

Don't worry about ruining the LCD with that, the glass is pretty tough and the alcohol won't eat through anything like other house hold cleaners.

It's a good day today.

It's surprisingly easy and is the fastest way I think.
